I am running LM 8.2, I have a SB Live. It works ok here with kernel version 
2.4.18-6mdk
This is my /etc/modules.conf (related to sblive):

alias char-major-116 snd 
alias char-major-14 soundcore 
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss 
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss 
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss 
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss 
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss 

The services sound and alsa are loaded
("chkconfig --add sound", and "chkconfig --add alsa"

And you need the sfxload program and a SF2 SoundFont file.
I had a problem with sound level, and I had to put aumix -v66 and aumix -L at 
the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local, plus the sfxload command.

Here you are the three last lines of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:

/usr/bin/aumix -v66
sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2
/usr/bin/aumix -L

And if you want to use playmidi, you must add the "-a" modifier:
playmidi -a midifile.mid

Try it. good luck!

[expert] Midi with SBlive

2003-03-06 Thread Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva

Hi List!

I checked in google and got some documents about midi(/dev/sequencer)
working with SBLive, but somes old and others a little bit generic.

I wonder if among Mandrake users somone has SBLive Midi (using
ALSA) configured and working, I mean, one can use 'playmidi test.mid' or
kmid and gets sounds.

I use MDK 9.0 and compiled Alsa rc 0.8a with --with-sequencer=yes
--with-oss=yes --with-cards=emu10k1 options, based on:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Live+Value&chip=EMU10K1&module=emu10k1

Ok, kmidi can do the job but it's not the same.  SB AWE always work with
midi without restraints.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,
